IMPORTANT FIRE SAFETY INFORMATION FOR YOUR HOME

Your safety, and the safety of the people who live with you is very important to us. To help to keep you safe, it is important we share information with you, so you know what to do if there is a fire, and what you can do to help to keep yourselves and your neighbours safe.  This also helps us to meet the new Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. 

Your building operates a ‘stay put’ policy. This means that if a fire breaks out in another part of the building, then you are able to stay in your property.  You will not need to evacuate unless you are told to do so.     

The leaflet with this letter provides you with information relevant to your building.  It says that: 

• If a fire breaks out in your home, leave the room where the fire is and close the door. You must also tell everyone that is in your home and tell them to leave. 
• If smoke or heat enters your home, then you must leave / evacuate your property.  You must also leave the property should the alarm start to sound, or the Fire Brigade asks you to leave. 
• Please check for fire safety signs in your building for further information. These may look slightly different to the example that we have included in this letter; however, the information will be similar. 

We need you to help us to keep everyone safe by reading this information and doing what it asks. Please also keep it so that you can look at it again. If anyone moves in to, or visits your home, we would ask you to share this with them. 

If you or someone who lives in your home, would need help to leave the building in an emergency, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can agree with you what we can do to help.  

If you have any questions about this letter or want to know more about fire safety in your home or building, please contact your Neighbourhood Services Manager or colleagues that work on site where you live.  If you live in a Plumlife property then please contact Plumlife Directory on 0161 447 5050 / directory@plumlife.co.uk
